I bought the twentieth-anniversary edition of The Princess Bride and watched it with my kids this week, successfully introducing them to an integral aspect of geek culture.
And it took! (At least with my son–my daughter rightfully thought Princess Buttercup was useless.) Herewith my son doing an exceptionally cute Inigo Montoya. :-)

I'm a freelance copyeditor specializing in fantasy and science fiction. SF/F novels I have copyedited have been finalists for (and have sometimes won) the Hugo, Nebula, Arthur C. Clarke, Endeavour, Golden Spur, John W. Campbell Memorial, Quill, Locus, Philip K. Dick, British Science Fiction, British Fantasy, and World Fantasy awards. In 2007 I became the first and only copyeditor ever short-listed for a World Fantasy Award.

…ahhh indoctrinating the next generation!
Cute, but how many times have you watched it so far? I think at one point I almost had the entire dialog memorized. :)
Holy crap is that cute.
